:D Love the half rack chorus. very rich, if that thing came in pedal format they would have made a lot of money haha.

I still drag out my distortion generator every once in a while, i love the thing for leads so creamy and full.
 
Had lots of fun with the Rockman Soloist through a JCM800. That was my Dad's rig for a long time and it sounded killer!
 
I used an X100 for a long time. Great unit! I use the Korg Pandora PDX4 now that I love, I play through that more than any amp I've ever owned.
 
Still have my Sustainor and Delay/Chorus modules (although I should probably sell them...AxeFX has changed my life). Haven't used the Sustainor in many years but it definitely had a cool, unique sound that worked well for certain things. I used the Delay/Chorus to fatten up the tone of my Studio .22+ for rehearsals...definitely an under rated unit.

For sure!!!


For all the people who want to try the rockman again or are really looking for a boston sound I can help you. I'll just say that an EQ is imperative! i'll post some clips later

Aww sad day!


as for the rockman games...eh, i never liked em :lol: :LOL:
 
i love some of them. i really really like the music. though i was born in 1989, my parents must have blasted white snake vinyls a lot while i was swimming in my dads sack.
 
Love the rock modules...chorus delay etc. great stereo spread.
 
The thing about the Rockman is that when some bands were at their worst, the Rockman was the main tone generator.


For example.

Rush put out some great stuff with the Rockman though.
 
are you sure. I thought Rush (Alex) used a Gallien Kruger for that rockman sounding era stuff.
